EthioChicken, under the umbrella of the pan-Africa Hatch Africa group, is dedicated to supplying high-quality poultry and eggs across six countries. As a leading poultry company in East Africa, EthioChicken focuses on providing improved breeds of day-old chickens and blended poultry feed, bolstering productivity and fortifying protein supplies at the rural household level. Notably, it is the singular private company in Ethiopia with an exclusive focus on smallholder farmers, and has developed an innovative and sustainable distribution model tailored to effectively reach rural households. Since its establishment in 2010, EthioChicken has positively impacted numerous rural households in Ethiopia, producing millions of day-old chickens.
With the mission of enhancing rural farmer livelihoods and improving nutrition, EthioChicken secured a €4.10M Venture Round investment on 02 June 2021 from OP Finnfund Global. The company's strong purpose to make Ethiopian farmers healthier and wealthier aligns with their vision to provide one chicken per person per year through smallholder farmers. EthioChicken's dedication to bringing healthy and affordable eggs and meat to Ethiopian families showcases its commitment to creating income opportunities and enhancing livelihoods, which sets a promising trajectory for the company's future growth and impact.
